Mr Fradley June 2025
A perfect village retreat in rural Dorset. Ivy Cottage is a lovely, well proportioned property situated in the centre of the beautiful, small, very friendly village of Cattistock with easy road access to Dorchester & the Dorset coast. The cottage is very well appointed to a good standard throughout & has a nice, dog friendly garden to the rear. A credit to the owners. A well stocked village shop & quaint local pub are close by. This is a peaceful, relaxing, very friendly village. No rush hour. No street lights. No stress - & you maybe lucky enough to see the countryside spectacle of the local pack of hounds running through the village on most mornings. ...

Good morning. I just wanted to say we have had the best time. The Cottage is lovely and such a friendly village. We even had a go at skittles the other night and visited the cider farm. The coffee morning was also Great fun. It's lovely to see all the birdies in the garden and I think a jack door has made a nest in your roof. There's also a nest of robins in the stonewall. Thank you again marvellous. Stay. ...
